Primal-Knowledge.com: One Year Anniversary

Primal-Knowledge is celebrating its first year as a primitive skills education and entertainment company. Our mission is to reconnect and rekindle the skills and knowledge first achieved by primitive people. The primitive skills were first distilled through extreme adversity, and thousands of years of adaptation and refinement. Sadly, an intimate connection to the earth and nature is mostly lost to modern humans. The basic instincts are there and the skills can be relearned, nurtured, and then refined, reconnecting to our shared humanity. Our goal at Primal Knowledge is to teach realistic primitive skills that are both fun and useful. These "earth skills" will facilitate and ease any transition to an intimate nature connection. Should you ever be without modern conveniences, Primal-Knowledge will be a vital edge in your adaptation. In addition to classes, Primal Knowledge offers several free events a year from Open Skills Days to a Summer Knap-in and a Fall Gathering. Please "like" our Facebook page, and visit Primal-Knowledge.com to learn more about attending classes or upcoming events.
